Our suggestions
This time Superman faces the awesome power of a criminally insane super-computer genius, who has been hoodwinked by a sinister tycoon seeking global dominance.
"We can say that the trump cards of 'Superman II' became the downfall of 'Superman III'. Unfortunately, director Richard Lester decided to go further into using humour, bringing in actor Richard Pryor ('The Express of Chicago') to be the antagonist. With a confusing script, the movie drags on for more than 2 hours. Perhaps the best part here is the fight of the Man of Steel against a kind of "evil twin", which doesn't make much sense, but made for some good memes in more recent times. Recommended only to the most hardcore fans of the character."
